SAN
FRANCISCO, Aug. 6, 2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ --
San
Francisco-based WaterField Designs announces the first
of four additions to its Vitesse Collection of classic waxed canvas
bags with a modern twist — the Vitesse Backpack, an American-made,
waxed canvas backpack with a straightforward design and a vintage
aesthetic. The new Backpack combines heritage materials with modern
features and hardware to support 21st-century use. Each week in
August, WaterField will unveil a new addition to its Vitesse
Collection: a crossbody Sling, Vertical Musette, and Duffel.
I carry my 16-inch MacBook Pro, lunch,
light jacket, and other necessities in the Vitesse Backpack. It's
so flexible that I can take it anywhere — work, my travels, or just
around town.
"I love the Vitesse line bags' simple, elegant designs and their
unique, easy-to-use hardware. Lightweight, water-resistant, and
rugged, they withstand decades of use," said company owner
Gary Waterfield. "I carry my 16-inch
MacBook Pro, lunch, light jacket, and other necessities in the
Vitesse Backpack. It's so flexible that I can take it anywhere —
work, my travels, or just around town."
The backpack's spacious main compartment is accessible via an
extra wide opening that allows users to find items in the lower
reaches of their bag more easily. The outer edges may be hooked to
the sides of the backpack to maintain its streamlined shape or may
remain unhooked to increase capacity. A built-in laptop pocket is
large enough for a 16-inch MacBook Pro with or without the
WaterField Neo Sleeve, and an open-topped pocket and three pen
slots keep small accessories near the top of the bag for easy
access.
A pleated, satchel-style front pocket with two internal
organizing pockets keeps frequently needed items like phone, keys,
wallet, and glasses organized and handy. A thick waxed canvas flap
secures the pocket with a modern, paragliding-style buckle that is
easy to operate with one hand. The unlined backpack showcases the
timeless beauty of a traditional textile that has endured through
the ages.
Features at a glance:
- Made-in-USA, 15-oz,
water-resistant waxed canvas from a reputable mill that has
produced the textile since 1930.
- Expandable top opening grants wide, easy access to contents;
can pin down with G-hooks on either side to maintain bag's
streamlined shape or leave up for added capacity.
- Canvas laptop pocket fits up to a 16-inch MacBook Pro with or
without a WaterField Neo Sleeve.
- Open pocket for accessories and three pen slots organize small
items.
- Pleated front pocket, with two interior organizational pockets,
keeps phone, wallet, AirPods, etc. handy.
- Metal paragliding-inspired buckle secures front pocket and
operates easily with one hand.
- Rear wheeled suitcase passthrough, with clever Velcro® patch in
the middle, keeps bag securely in place for easy airport
navigation.
- YKK®, waterproof, dual-sided zippers protect from the elements
and add convenience.
- Ergonomic, neoprene-padded, moisture-wicking straps keep users
comfortable and dry.
- Leather-wrapped handle facilitates a quick grab or hangs on a
hook.
The Vitesse Collection presents quintessential American
craftsmanship at its finest. The cotton-based canvas is treated
with food- and pharmaceutical-grade wax to create lifelong
resistance to inclement weather while remaining breathable. The
bag's classic lines and materials age beautifully and shift easily
from professional to casual settings.
The Vitesse Backpack joins WaterField's Vitesse Musette, Musette
Plus, Messenger, and Briefcase. Each week in August, WaterField
will introduce a new bag style to the Vitesse Collection with the
Sling, Vertical Musette, and Duffel to follow today's
announcement.
